THE NEGOTIATING TABLE BUT
INSTEAD IT TOLD RAIL WORKERS TO
SUCK IT UP AND BE GRATEFUL. JOINING WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF
JOINING WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF
TO VICE PRESIDENT PENCE AND
COALITION TO PROTECT AMERICA
WORKERS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARC
SHORT.
HOW DO YOU SEE THIS?
>> HEY MARIA, THANKS FOR HAVING
ME ON.
I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH SENATOR
RUBIO.
I THINK IT A FREE ECONOMY THE
DISPUTE SHOULD BE DETERMINED
BETWEEN EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEES
AND IS NOT THE ROLE OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
IN THE 1920s CONGRESS PASSED A
LABOR RELATIONS ACT FOR RAILWAYS
AND THERE WAS A TIME IN OUR
COUNTRY WHEN WE HAD A MORE
PREDOMINANT POINT OF OUR FREIGHT
THAT WAS TRANSPORTED ACROSS THE
COUNTRY BUT I KIND OF FEEL IF
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WAS
TRYING TO BE CONSTRUCTIVE IN
KNOWING THE POTENTIAL STRIKE WAS
COMING IT WOULD BE DISRUPTIVE TO
OUR ECONOMY.
THEY SHOULD FOCUS ON THE 60%
AFRAID THAT COMES INTO REPORTS
AND THROUGH TRACKS BECAUSE THEIR
POLICIES ARE RAISING COSTS
ACROSS THE BOARD.
FOR INSTANCE, MARIA, THEIR
INEXCUSABLE ENERGY POLICY HAS
CREATED DIESEL FUEL AT THE
ALL-TIME HIGH.
THEY CAN FOCUS ON LOWERING THAT
SO TRANSPORTATION COSTS HAVE
COME DOWN.
THEY COULD LOOK TO REPEAL THE
JONES ACT THAT MAKE SHIPPING
COST MORE EXPENSIVE.
INSTEAD WHAT YOU SEEN HIS
DEMOCRAT PARTY SIDE WITH LABOR
UNION BOSSES AGAINST LABOR UNION
POLICE AND YOU CONTINUE TO SEE
THE LABOR UNION POLICE CONTINUE
TO MOVE TOWARD THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY AND IT’S BECAUSE OF ISSUES
LIKE THIS WERE THE DEMOCRAT
UNION, THE DEMOCRAT PARTY COMES
OUTSIDE WERE THE UNION BOSSES IN
A SITUATION THAT SHOULD BE
DETERMINED AND SETTLED BETWEEN
THE EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYER NOT
BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOT BY
CONGRESS.
MARIA: I THINK YOU MAKE A LOT OF
IMPORTANT POINTS, IS FROM THE
GUY WHO CLAIMS HE’S AMTRAK JOE
THAT HE IS A UNION GUY AND
SUPPORTS THE UNIONS.
HE DID NOT SUPPORT THE UNION
THAT ALL.
THAT WAS CLEAR YESTERDAY WHEN I
SPOKE WITH THE BROTHERHOOD OF
RAILROAD SIGNALMEN PRESIDENT
MICHAEL BALDWIN.
HE WAS WITH ME YESTERDAY AND
SAID THERE DENYING OUR
OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE.
IT IS WRONG CONGRESS SHOULD GET
OUT OF THE WAY.
WATCH.
>> IT CREATES A POLITICAL NOT
DISSENSION BUT PEOPLE DON’T
TRUST THE SYSTEM.
THEY FEEL LIKE THEIR RIGHT TO
STRIKE WERE MORE SO THERE RIGHT
TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE
LEVERAGE AT THE BARGAINING TABLE
TABLE.
MARIA: MARK, WHAT DO YOU THINK
THIS IS GOING TO DO THE OTHER
UNIONS.
ONE THOUGHT THAT I BEEN HAVING
THE FACT THAT THEY GOT A 24%
RAISE WILL ACTUALLY SPARK OTHER
UNIONS TO SAY WE’RE GOING TO
THREATEN A STRIKE WE WANT TO
DOUBLE DIGIT RAISE AND WE WANT
THE BENEFITS THAT THEY GOT
ALTHOUGH WE SHOULD POINT OUT
THEY DIDN’T GET THE 15 SICK DAYS
THAT THEY WANTED.
THEY DID NOT GET THIS EVIDENT
EASY POLICY PUT IN THE HOSPITAL
BUT YOU SEE ANY UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES IN TERMS OF OTHER
UNIONS AS RESULT OF
CONGRESSIONAL MOVES?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK THERE ALWAYS UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES WHEN THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT GETS INVOLVED.
I THINK YOU’RE EXACTLY RIGHT YOU
WILL SEE THAT LESSON LEARNED
FROM OTHER LABOR UNIONS.
AGAIN I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE
NEGOTIATED AS YOUR LAST GUEST
SAID BETWEEN EMPLOYER AND
EMPLOYEE AND NOT BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
IT CREATES ALL UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES IN THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION WAS SINCERE ABOUT
WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE WERE
INSULATED FROM THIS THEY WILL BE
LOOKING TO THE WORK
TRANSPORTATION COSTS ACROSS THE
BOARD.
BUT INSTEAD ARE COMING DOWN WITH
THE LABOR UNION AND WHAT YOU SAW
THE 2016 ELECTION WITH DONALD
TRUMP IS LABOR UNION EMPLOYEES
BEGAN TO MOVE TOWARD THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY AND I THINK THE
TREND IS GOING TO CONTINUE WITH
THE ACTION BY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION.
MARIA: IT’S SO INDICATIVE OF HOW
FRAGILE THIS ECONOMY IS AS A
RESULT OF BIDEN’S BAD POLICY ALL
THE RECKLESS SPENDING.
IF THEY WEREN’T SO WORRIED ABOUT
THE IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY, MAYBE
THEY WOULD’VE ALLOWED MORE
NEGOTIATIONS TO CONTINUE GIVING
THE UNIONS THERE RIGHT THAT THEY
HAVE TWO STRIKE.
MEANWHILE THE SUPREME COURT IS
HEARING ARGUMENTS INDICATES
CHALLENGING BIDEN’S STUDENT LOAN
BAILOUT.
THAT HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY.
UNTIL THEN THE HIGH COURT OF
PORTING A LOWER COURT TO BLOCK
THE $400 BILLION HANDOUT.
A HANDOUT THAT COULD COST
$1 TRILLION.
THE WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF
RON CLEAN TWEETED THIS.
I BELIEVE WE CAN WIN, MARK YOUR
THOUGHTS?
>> WILL REACT, I FEEL LIKE IT’S
HARD TO SEE HOW THE LEGAL WERE
ADMINISTRATION TO WIPE AWAY LOAN
DEBT WITHOUT BEING A LEGISLATIVE
TO CONGRESS.
IT SEEMS THEY’VE ALWAYS KNOWN
THERE LEGAL LIABILITY HERE BUT
THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE
POLITICALLY BENEFICIAL TO SIMPLY
SAY ALL ERASE THIS DEBT AND IT
CERTAINLY AT THE LEAST IS
INFLATIONARY YOU ASK ABOUT THE
BROADER QUESTIONS OF THE
ECONOMY.
WERE NOT PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION
TO RIGHT NOW.
THE FED HAS FINALLY WOKEN UP.
THE FED HAS RAISED RATES TO
ATTACK INFLATION THAT’S HURTING
SO MANY AMERICANS.
THE SECOND PART OF THE EQUATION
FROM THE MONETARY POLICY IS A
FISCAL POLICY.
WHAT ARE WE DOING WITH THE
COUNTRY OF $30 TRILLION IN DEBT
WE’RE IN THE SPECIAL ASSASSIN OF
CONGRESS TO PASS ANOTHER
$1.6 TRILLION ON VENUS BILL.
OUR FISCAL POLICY ALL WERE DOING
IS DRIVING INFLATION NOBODY IS
SAYING WHEN ARE WE GOING TO STOP
SPENDING WHEN ARE WE GOING TO A
RACE THAT AND SAY GO FREE.
MARIA: I DID NOT REALIZE WRONG
CLAIMS WIFE ALSO WORKS AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
SHE WORKS AT THE STATE
DEPARTMENT.
I NOTICED THAT IN THE LIST OF THE STATE DINNER LAST NIGHT.
THE STATE DINNER LAST NIGHT.
YOU HAD BROAD AND MONICA MEDINA,
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE FOR
OCEANS IN INTERNATIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SCIENTIFIC AFFAIRS AT THE DEPARTMENT
AFFAIRS AT THE DEPARTMENT
ESTATE.
SO RON KLAIN THE CHIEF OF STAFF
WIFE AND ALSO WORKING IN
GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE
DEPARTMENT AND SHE IS PRETTY
MUCH PUSHING THE CLIMATE AGENDA.
FOR QUESTIONING WHO IS RUNNING
THE COUNTRY AND WHO IS PUSHING
THE CLIMATE AGENDA.
WERE YOU AWARE THAT HIS WIFE WAS
ALSO WORKING THERE?
>> I WASN’T BUT I DO FEEL LIKE
AS REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT WE SEEN IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS
SEEN IN THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS
GETTING FAR BEYOND IN TAKING ON
POLITICAL AGENDAS LIKE THE
ENERGY PLAN AND I THINK
INDICATIVE OF THE POSITIONS
FORMER SENATOR KERRY HAS AND
